Google Business Profile video: 30 seconds, 75 MB, 720p

A Google Business Profile video can be up to 30 seconds long, up to 75 MB, and 720p or higher. Photos should be JPG or PNG between 10 KB and 5 MB, with 720 x 720 recommended and 250 x 250 the minimum. If you have a longer promo clip, Sume's video trim cuts a [start, end) range out of it as a new MP4 in one call, for $0.02 per job on the docs' read date.

The numbers are from Google's Manage your Business Profile photos & videos page, read on 2026-10-02.

What are Google's photo and video limits?

Google also says photos should be "in focus and well lit, and have no significant alterations or excessive use of filters". Keep that in mind before you generate or retouch a photo for the profile.

How do I cut a longer clip to 30 seconds?

Sume's video trim takes one Sume-hosted clip, a start and exactly one of end or duration, and returns a new MP4 while the source stays untouched. The clip must already be on media.sume.com; there is no open-internet fetch, so import an outside file first. An Idempotency-Key header is required.

The default precision is exact, a frame-accurate re-encode, and audio defaults to keep. mode: "sync" waits up to 30 seconds for a finished job and returns 200, or 202 if it is still running, in which case you poll GET /v1/jobs/{id}/status and read GET /v1/jobs/{id}/result.

import os, requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://api.sume.com/v1/video-trim",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['SUME_API_KEY']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": "gbp-promo-trim-001",
    },
    json={
        "video_url": "https://media.sume.com/artifacts/artf_demo/promo.mp4",
        "start": 0,
        "duration": 30,
        "mode": "sync",
    },
    timeout=60,
)
print(r.status_code, r.json())

After the cut: check size and resolution

A 30-second clip can still be over 75 MB at high bitrates, and a trim does not tell you the resolution Google will accept. Check the result's file size and that it is 720p or higher before you upload. Sume's video generation defaults to 720p, so a clip made there starts at Google's floor; ask for 1080p if you want headroom.

Because Google asks for unaltered photos, use AI for the video and posts, and use real photographs for the photo gallery.
